Girls were much more meticulous than guys, especially those that had just fallen in love. Wang Dongâer discriminated against Wang Qiuâer and her identical looks. Right now, this discrimination grew even deeper.
She lowered her head subconsciously, and her body turned slightly rigid. That was because she saw Wang Qiuâerâs bloodstained clothing strewn all over her place.
Those fragments were once part of her clothing? Then sheâsâ¦
As she thought till here, she couldnât take it anymore. She walked in front of the test and took a peek.
As she peeked in, she bit her lower lip with her teeth and her face turned even paler.
Han Ruoruo was also beside the tent. She was a control-type soul master, so naturally she couldnât be guarding the perimeter. She clearly saw what Wang Dongâer did. She rushed up a few steps and whispered, âDongâer, donât think blindly. The matter was critical, and he had to adapt. It seems that theyâve gone through more than one fight. I believe those fights were quite intense too. Wang Qiuâer must have suffered injuries. Look at how bloody her clothing is. A normal person would have died from such extreme blood loss.â
Wang Dongâer shook her head slightly and glanced at Huo Yuhao before she replied, âSister Ruoruo, Iâm not thinking blindly. I believe in Yuhao. Heâs not that kind of person.â
Han Ruoruo looked into her eyes and was stunned to realize that she wore a clear and serious expression as she said that. Her light blue eyes were extremely beautiful.
She couldnât help but caress the younger womanâs head and smile, âHuo Yuhao is really lucky to have such a girlfriend like you. If I were a guy, I wouldâve given up everything to challenge him for you. However, you need to watch your man at times. While Yuhao isnât some handsome bloke, his talents cannot be matched by most people. There are many girls that heâll attract.â
Wang Dongâer shook her head and looked at Huo Yuhao. She said gently, âI trust him.â
Han Ruoruo hugged her and didnât say anything else.
Wang Dongâer squatted down beside Huo Yuhao again and said to Cai Meiâer softly. âDean Cai, howâs Yuhao?â
Cai Meiâer was completely relaxed at this point, and replied, âHeâs fine. His body is just a little weak, and his soul power has almost been completely exhausted. However, there arenât really any injuries on him. There shouldnât be any problems. He just needs some time to rest before heâll recover.â
Wang Dongâer twisted her head to look at Wang Qiuâer. She said, âTake a look at her too.â
Cai Meiâer was stunned. Even though she wasnât with the team earlier, she knew about the conflict between Wang Dongâer and Wang Qiuâer. For Wang Dongâer to spout such words revealed her kindness.
âAlright.â
Cai Meiâer came to Wang Qiuâer and shifted her further into the tent, away from Huo Yuhaoâs legs. After that, she crawled into the tent and lifted Wang Qiuâerâs body.
Wang Dongâer retrieved her own portable tent and moved Huo Yuhao inside so that he could sleep more comfortably. After finishing this, she also felt a wave of fatigue.
âAh!â Cai Meiâerâs exclamation shocked everyone.
Wang Dongâer rushed into the tent to find out what was going on.
She only heard Cai Meiâer shouting, âHer injuries are serious. These wounds were all fatal! But they were stitched up well, and the blood loss was stopped in time. Her body signs are normal. Fortunately, the wounds are no longer fatal, even though her injuries are still serious.â
After some time, Cai Meiâer exited the tent. She said, âThey indeed met strong enemies. However, I donât know if that was the work of those evil soul masters. This place is quite far from where we were. Iâm guessing that these dead soul beasts should have fought them. Wang Qiuâer suffered several deadly wounds. Fortunately, her blood loss was stopped in time, and she managed to preserve her life. Furthermore, there seems to be a strong life power in her body thatâs supporting her recovery, and sheâs very tough physically. With sufficient rest, she can recover. Sheâs been changed into Huo Yuhaoâs clothing. I guess he helped stitch up her wounds. This kid is really meticulous. Heâs indeed a soul engineer, the wounds were bound nicely. Dongâer, he had to adapt given the situation. Donât think too much into it.â
Wang Dongâer shook her head slightly and smiled, âI overthought things when I saw them before, but Iâm fine now. I trust Yuhao. Heâs not that kind of person.â
Cai Meiâer smiled before she said, âAlright. Guys, take this opportunity to rest. Iâll guard this place tonight. Today has really been taxing on all of us.â
Zhang Lexuan smiled and replied, âFortunately, youâre around, and everyoneâs safe.â
Cai Meiâer answered, âThe most important thing is that everyoneâs safe. Lexuan, youâre tired, too. Go and rest.â
Zhang Lexuan acknowledged her words and replied, âAlright. Iâll take over for you in two hours.â
Everyone surrounded the two tents and sat down before entering their cultivation states. Wang Dongâer guarded Huo Yuhaoâs tent. She didnât look at Wang Qiuâerâs tent anymore. In her heart, she was really not bothered by what she had seen earlier.
Wang Dongâer was a clever lady. The greatest strength of an intelligent woman was that she wouldnât find problems for herself. She knew that many things must have happened between Huo Yuhao and Wang Qiuâer throughout the day, and they must have gone through many intense fights. However, she was just delighted that he had managed to survive. Furthermore, she had spoken from the bottom of her heart just now. Since she understood Huo Yuhao, she trusted him completely. With this trust, she naturally didnât need to think too much. She also didnât want to know what had happened between Huo Yuhao and Wang Qiuâer earlier. As long as he was fine, she was satisfied.
It was inevitable for women to feel jealous. However, the smart and confident ones were more resistant in this aspect.
For some reason, Wang Dongâer felt more open-minded following a temporary heartache after she saw Wang Qiuâer in Huo Yuhaoâs clothes.
She knew that she had been very mindful of Wang Qiuâer earlier because they looked identical. She had the appearance of the Goddess of Light that Huo Yuhao had fallen in love with at first sight.
However, there could only be one Goddess of Light, which was the one developed from her martial soul fusion skill with Huo Yuhao. Was appearance really so important? If that was the case, the equally ravishing Ju Zi would have captured Huo Yuhaoâs heart before he knew about her identity as the Goddess of Light. However, he still remained very prim and proper with her.
He didnât start anything with her. After two and a half years, his heart was still with Wang Dongâer. What did she have to worry about?
It had to be the intense jealousy, or perhaps even the discomfort that enabled her to resolve her dilemma. She didnât suspect anything, and even accepted Wang Qiuâer now. At least, she didnât feel the same hostility towards Qiuâer that she had before.
Wang Dongâer also slowly entered deep meditation with her newfound acceptance. A slight undulation of the aura of light surrounded the tent and made the temperature inside it warmer.
They were finally rid of troubles. This night was especially peaceful.
In the meantime, Cai Meiâer, Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo took turns standing guard. They didnât wake anyone else up.
------
When Huo Yuhao woke up from his deep sleep, he felt extremely sore, and had a splitting headache. His soul power had only recovered by thirty percent, but he was no longer as weak as before.
As he opened his eyes, he was a little lost as he looked at the dim blue ceiling of the tent. Where, where am I?
He didnât want to move because of his aches, but the scent in the tent reminded him of someone, because it was too familiar.
âDongâer, Dongâer!â Huo Yuhao shouted almost immediately, and struggled to sit up.
Even though he didnât have any injuries, he was still very dizzy as he sat up. He almost fell back down.
The curtains to the tent opened, and a surprised face peeked in. âYuhao, youâre finally awake!â
Wang Dongâer bent her waist and entered the tent. She was secretly delighted. Yuhao called my name first after he awoke.
After seeing Wang Dongâer, Huo Yuhao didnât even think, and reached out for her. He pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly.
Wang Dongâer was also stunned by his passion. However, she hugged him back with even more force after she froze momentarily.
âDongâer, do you know something? Iâm really scared.â Huo Yuhao muttered softly.
Wang Dongâer was stunned. She felt a little weird. I should be the one whoâs scared, right?
âI was scared that I wouldnât see you again. I was almost on the verge of death twice, but I managed to survive in the end. Dongâer, I really missed you.â As he spoke, he hugged her even tighter.
No matter what strong enemies he faced, he had always managed to maintain his composure. However, he was filled with an indescribable sense of happiness and bliss when he saw Wang Dongâer again after narrowly avoiding death. He also recited his deepest feelings to her.
Wang Dongâer smacked his shoulder, âIdiot, why did you take that risk? Why didnât you stay with the rest of us? Why didnât you bring me along?â
Huo Yuhao didnât answer her questions. That was because he knew that she knew the answer.
The two of them hugged tightly just like that and felt each otherâs heartbeat. Their hearts were finally together after they reunited and established their relationship. In Huo Yuhaoâs heart, the figure that belonged to Goddess of Light now finally and completely belonged to her.
